apartment therapy changing the world, one room at a time

So glad to hear that this house was preserved. We've just had two more FLW houses moved to Southwestern Pennsylvania, near Fallingwater, to preserve them. It's so important to preserve these priceless pieces of our heritage.

Gosh i want to live in Oregon more each day!

I do not understand how people would want to destroy such a beautiful home. I'm glad it is now a museum.

I attended a tea at the Gordon House a few years ago, and it is really amazing. They were having roofing problems, which makes sense because flat roofs really aren't the smartest in rainy oregon. The best part are the built-ins in the sitting area in the second photo above.

i toured this house when i lived in portland several years back--- the feeling of this house is just magical. the spacial arrangement is really brilliant. (plus it seems much more livable and much less stilted than some of wright's more grand houses.) i still, to this day, feel inspired and moved every time i think about it. the kitchen is a like a huge column, you're standing at the bottom and there is a huge skylight 2 stories up flooding the space with bright light. it's the only kitchen i've loved that didn't have any windows at eye level. the bedroom and office on the top part of the "t" feel like wonderful little nests. anyone who is remotely near this should definitely make a trip out there!
